PC4204 Relay Output Module
v 2.1 • Installation Instructions
1. Introduction
The PC4204 is an output module with four programmable
relay outputs. Relay 1 can be used to repower the Combus.
NOTE: Do not use any power supply other than the PC4204
to repower the Combus. If a power supply other than the
PC4204 is used, the Combus repower function will not
operate as intended. See the control panel Installation
Manual for details regarding this feature.
2. Specifications
• Current Draw: 30 mA (from Combus)
• Minimum 40VA 16-18V transformer required
• Minimum 4Ah battery required
• Connects to control panel via 4-wire Combus
• Four programmable relay contacts rated 2A, 30V
• AUX current: 1.0A max.
• Tamper contact input
Compatible Cabinets
• PC4051C/CR*
• PC4052C/CR*
*CR cabinets for North American customers only
3. Installing the PC4204
3.1 Unpacking
The PC4204 package should include the following parts:
• One PC4204 circuit board
• One ground wire assembly
• Five plastic stand-offs
• One 5A replacement fuse
3.2 Mounting
The PC4204 should be located inside a compatible cabinet,
mounted in a dry, secure location. Preferably, it should be
placed at a convenient distance from the connected
devices.
DC
Perform the following steps to mount the unit:
1. Press the five plastic stand-offs through the mounting
holes at back of the cabinet.
2. Secure the cabinet to the wall in the desired location.
Use appropriate wall anchors when securing the cabinet
to drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other surfaces.
3. Press the circuit board into the plastic stand-offs to
secure the module to the cabinet.
Once the unit is mounted, wiring may be completed.
3.3 Installation and Wiring
Before beginning to wire the unit, ensure that all power
(AC transformer and battery) is disconnected from the
control panel.
Perform the following steps to complete wiring:
1. Connect the four Combus wires to the PC4204.
Connect the red, black, yellow and green Combus
wires to the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals,
respectively.
If Relay 1 is being used for Combus Power, connect
the Combus wires according to the following
diagram. Note that for this option, Jumper J1 must
also be set for “Combus Relay.”
2. Complete all output wiring.
3. Connect the external tamper switch, if used.
Consult the above wiring diagrams for further
information.
Please refer to the System Installation Manual for information on limitations regarding product
use and function and information on the limitations as to liability of the manufacturer.

3.4 Applying Power
After all wiring is completed, apply power to the control
panel. Connect the battery leads to the battery, then connect
the AC transformer. Then, connect power to the PC4024:
the battery leads followed by the AC transformer. For more
information on control panel power specifications, see the
control panel Installation Manual.
NOTE: Do not connect the power until all wiring is
complete.
4. Enrolling the Module
Once all wiring is complete, the module must be enrolled
on the system. To enroll the module, perform the
following:
1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]
[Installer’s Code].
2. Scroll to “Module Hardware” and press the [*] key.
3. Scroll to “Enroll Module” and press the [*] key.
4. Scroll through the different modules until “PC4204”
is displayed. Press the [*] key.
5. The message “Create Tamper on Desired Unit” will
be displayed. To create the required tamper, secure
the tamper zone on the module and then open it. The
transition from secure to violated enrolls the module.
After this is done, the keypad will display the module
number and will confirm enrollment (e.g. “PC4204
Mod 01 Enrolled”).
For more information regarding module enrollment, see
the control panel Installation Manual.
5. Programming the Module
To access PC4010/4020 programming, enter [*][8] followed
by the Installer’s code. Each relay output must be
programmed. The programming worksheet located below
indicates which sections must be programmed. For more
information regarding how to program, see the control
panel Installation Manual.
NOTE: The output options listed below are for PC4010/
4020 v3.0. For zone programming for previous software
versions, see the corresponding programming manual.
NOTE: Relay 1 must not be programmed if used for Combus
Power. Ensure that Jumper J1 is set to “Combus Relay.”
